MPs back UNISON’s Stop the Spread pledge for care workers

It calls on councils to commit to an achievable set of standards to protect care workers and service-users during the Covid 19 pandemic.

They include priority testing for social care workers carried out in work time and with transport paid, suitable personal protective equipment, full pay during self-isolation and carers leave on full pay for workers caring for a dependent with Covid 19.

You can download your own pledge card below and use it to show your own support for care workers. Be sure to tag in @UNISONEastern and use the hashtag #StopTheSpread. If you haven’t got a printer at home you can email us for a pledge card.
